  1. Nittaku fastarc G-1 is a good rubber? if yes is better for fh or bh?

    I am testing now Loki Telson Germany and for me it is not low throw, at least not lower than Sanwei Gear Hyper what I consider medium-enough throw for BH. Very linear and good spin, enough speed.
  2. Aliexpress Singles Day 2025

    On my list Sanwei Target National
  3. Yinhe Big Dipper V vs Yinhe Big Dipper

    I ordered recently both versions, but unfortunately both sellers sent me new Big Dipper V. I tried it, but never played with old version so I can't compare them against. For me it is a little tacky. "Little tacky" for me it means it is tacky enough that rubber prottector with no glue still...
  4. Good, durable, non-tacky Chinese rubbers for a beginner?

    Reactor Tornado V5? Quite cheap and they seem little tacky, but they were not really catching a lot of dust when I used them and much easier to clean than regular tacky rubbers.
  5. Donic Anders Lind Hexa vs Nittaku Septear Feel Inner

    I abandoned Yasaka Ma Lin Carbon for that reason and Yasaka Sweden Extra of my colleague was the same. For Nittaku I can't say explicitly about Septear Feel Handle, but Nittaku Acoustic FL is surely thin, I saw a lot of guys in facebook groups complaining about it and the "Large handle" version...
  6. Donic Anders Lind Hexa vs Nittaku Septear Feel Inner

    I would also consider the handles of these blades which I guess may be quite different. In example for me a good grip is important and if it doesn't fit good I will not like the blade. So Nittaku FL handles are on the thinner side usually, like Yasaka, Victas, Stuor and Sanwei (of the ones I...
  7. Where do you buy your equipment from?

    Poland here. There are few popular internet stores selling known brands stuff, I only buy there normally things like glue, edge tapes, etc. They also have sometimes stuff from aliexpress at higher prices. Rubbers and chinese branded blades I buy from aliexpress (I use mostly chinese rubbers) as...
  8. Looking for a fast backhand rubber with good spin

    The 729 Battle III with H38 may be not bad, for me it is best of cheaper chinese alternatives. It has higher throw than most other, FH-oriented rubbers while retaining good spin. I used it with Falco Tempo Long. For me its spin was most important as I use backhand serve a lot. However, Xiom Vega...
  9. cutting knives for rubber

    What are the dimensions of this oversized blade? Unfortunately I have only regular blades at hand, but I think something like not much bigger should be fine as long as it keeps round enough shape. So no cybershape allowed obviously. Is this blade kind of rectangluar?
  10. cutting knives for rubber

    I am using the one of similar method, but different version. It works fine for the price in my opinion.
  11. Quarterfinal Loss 2-3 in First U1100 Sanctioned Tournament – Please Share Pointers

    This is really good advice I was also given some time ago and it worked for me so I will extend. On this initial level often matches goes into pushing competition. If the opponent is heavy pusher you either push or hits the net. There slow FH loop comes to help you. From the things what work on...
  12. Gewo Aruna Hinoki Carbon Composition?

    I agree the website like revspin or TT blades are useful, but prone to errors as they just rely on user submissions (and megaspin just takes a lot of comments directly from revspin). The sticker from original blade box visible on tt-test.de is clearly more trustworthy if manufacturer is willing...
  13. Gewo Aruna Hinoki Carbon Composition?

    There is a lot of inconsistency in the internet over Joola Aruna OFF and Joola Rossi Emotion. J Rossi Emotion and J Aruna OFF on revspin are both listed as having kiri core. On tt blades DB the JRE has Ayous core and JAO kiri. The tt-test.de link says it is ayous for Gewo Aruna Hinoki OFF.

  16. Advice for beginners: No need to change your blade

    These chaep T88-III are a steal, I found them on promo and bought just to give it a try for my begginer son and they are really good on some lightweight blade. Possible to create some rotation, but in a controlled way.
  17. The Pro's Equipment - Discussion!

    I have them in Euro size 44 and they are quite narrow indeed (what is fine for me)
  18. Donic Skachkov Carbon

    Thanks, this Skachkov Carbon I added to my list anyway as it seems interesting even I normally use inner-type blades. The look of the handle is also really nice
  19. Donic Skachkov Carbon

    @kolyasya Can you compare Donic Skachkov Carbon to Donic Original True Carbon Inner? I think you mentioned once you have played with DTCI as well. I am quite happy with it and as an EJ just exploring some blades around its characteristic.
